Mr. Speaker, I listened to my hon. colleague who spoke eloquently about the need to support the motion. I have a question for him. Was he delighted this morning when he found out that the federal government surplus was now in excess of $14 billion?
It is clear that money ought not to be an issue. The money is there if the government has the will to provide the financial support. Could he tell us whether he too was delighted to get this news?
